Dr. Stumbo clarified the commitment of The Alliance in the Impact Report, saying,

Anything the Alliance does that doesn’t directly aid in the advancing of the gospel and the building of Christ’s Church must be questioned or replaced. Meanwhile, anything we do to forward Christ’s work must be pursued and resourced.
